Commit 603f000b15f2 changed xfs_ioctl_setattr_check_extsize to reject an
attempt to set an EXTSZINHERIT extent size hint on a directory with
RTINHERIT set if the hint isn't a multiple of the realtime extent size.
However, I have recently discovered that it is possible to change the
realtime extent size when adding a rt device to a filesystem, which
means that the existence of directories with misaligned inherited hints
is not an accident.
As a result, it's possible that someone could have set a valid hint and
added an rt volume with a different rt extent size, which invalidates
the ondisk hints. After such a sequence, FSGETXATTR will report a
misaligned hint, which FSSETXATTR will trip over, causing confusion if
the user was doing the usual GET/SET sequence to change some other
attribute. Change xfs_fill_fsxattr to omit the hint if it isn't aligned
properly.
Fixes: 603f000b15f2 ("xfs: validate extsz hints against rt extent size when rtinherit is set")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
